For halal-style patties in London, Honest Burgers on Brewer Street and Meard Street are the perfect choice. Get your hands on a juicy burger, alongside sumptuous sides such as onion rings, rosemary fries and much more.
With a food menu spearheaded by Vivek Singh, Cinnamon Bazaar is a top choice for halal food in Covent Garden. Tuck into watermelon chaat with amaranth seeds, date chutney and masala cashew nut or keep it classic with a mixed grill and tandoori lamb.
Thai restaurant Busaba is the ideal choice of halal dining destinations, as the extensive menu features both vegetarian, vegan pescatarian and halal chicken options. Think aubergine yellow coconut curry, satay chicken, classic Pad Thai and more, alongside a pocket-friendly lunch deal when you can nab any rice bowl for just £13.
Famed for its wraps, tagines and seasonal specials served against a backdrop of plush interiors, Souk is one quirky place for halal dining in Covent Garden. Settle in among the colourful tiles, lanterns, shishas and exotic fabrics for epic plates of authentic North African cuisine.
A classic gem in the heart of the West End, Christopher's has been bringing a taste of America to central London for years. Head to the swanky space for wagyu burgers, rump steak and lamb wraps - all halal, of course. You'll just need to pre-order in advance.
From Ramadan events and Eid celebrations to halal-friendly food, Dishoom is a top pick in Covent Garden. Chicken and lamb are sourced from certified suppliers so you can chow down on the staple grilled chicken, paneer tikka, biryanis and more, knowing that you're in safe hands.
Breathing a new lease of life into the humble kebab, this Mercer Walk restaurant is dedicated to sourcing free-range meat and organic ingredients. The lamb and chicken are both halal so you can feast on doner beignets, authentic Adana and more.
An Asian-inspired destination, Buns & Buns serves exactly what you'd expect from the name: delish filling served up in fluffy bao and other dishes besides. While pork products are served so it's not a fully halal restaurant, non-halal items are cooked separately from halal ones - meaning you'll have peace of mind while munching spicy prime beef tenderloin and wild mushroom truffle bao buns.
